Students investigate the factors which affect corrosion. In this corrosion lesson plan, students experiment with 2 nails, copper wire and magnesium ribbon placed in a petri dish of agar solution, potassium ferricyanate and an indicator....

Students find the standard molar volume of a gas. In this molar volume of a gas lesson plan, students react magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid and collect the hydrogen gas produced using a gas collection tube. Students calculate the...

Learners determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas. In this molar volume lesson plan, students find the molar volume of hydrogen produced in a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. They use a eudiometer to measure the volume...

Young scholars recognize the concepts of the five general types of chemical reaction: combination, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement and combustion. They practice classifying chemical equations and determine the moles...

Students investigate chemical and physical changes. In this physical and chemical change lesson plan, students perform 3 experiments in the lab to observe changes in matter. They determine that no new substances are formed in physical...

Students investigate the strength of acids and bases experimentally. They answer the question, "How can pH be used to determine possible product tampering?" by testing acids and bases with litmus paper.

Learners design and construct a battery (electrochemical cell). They works in a team to design and construct a working battery and is responsible for a labeled diagram of its operation. This engaging lesson stimulate their creative juices!

Students determine that the rate of reaction is affected by temperature, surface area, concentration of reagent, and addition of a catalyst or inhibitor. They observe that on December 3rd, 1984, 8000 people died when the chemical plant...

In this conversion factors worksheet, students convert 15 measurements from one unit in the SI system of measurement to another unit. Students show their work and indicate the unit of measurement. Conversion factors are given.

Students examine the different changes in matter.  In this chemical change lesson students determine the amount of reactant made in a reaction using the law of conservation. 

Students conduct labs to gain an overview of chemical reactions. They observe examples of synthesis, decomposition, single displacement and double displacement reactions. They identify certain products by the use of litmus and splint tests.

Tenth graders write and balance chemical equations and make a PowerPoint presentation on synthesis reactions.

Students review balancing chemical equations. In this chemistry lesson, students calculate moles of an unknown substance based on stoichiometric relationships in the balanced equation. They cite applications of stoichiometry in the...
